It’s so interesting from Vivo to compete with the RealMe 2 Pro and other brands as well agressive price tag set #GizmoArmy #MotoG6Plus
With that Beautiful Notch display, SD660 chip, descent battery capacity, great Cameras and presence of headphone jack makes it hard not to recommend this phone to anyone, great job VIVO!! #GizmoArmy #MotoG6Plus
Vivo V9 Pro brings some good spec’s like Snapdragon 660, 19:9 ratio large notch display & amazing camera setup as always at 20k price tag, seems to be nice deal but now feels Realme 2 Pro has better option.
